$ uvt new precise i386 clean

$ uvt new precise i386 clean

$ uvt start clean-precise-i386
Sleeping 5 seconds to give 'clean-
At this point an error dialog appeared, saying "Cannot find guest domain clean-precise-i386"
Now the system seems to be in this inconsistent state where it can't create the VM because it already exists, but it can't start the VM because it wasn't created correctly.
